All Mouths Today

Another shot from what is becoming one of my favorite locations: the 4th & King Caltrain station.

Dogpatch

Despite the name, not shot in the Dogpatch. ;) The last few weekends I've been up in the city, it's gotten super overcast in the last hour of the day (at least in the Market Street/Union Square area). In that sort of overcast light, if you see something light, it tends to go blinding white in b&w conversions. The result was some contrast and geometry that I liked as this woman's dog parts the crowd before her.

Uptown Girls

My ongoing quest to find interesting photos outside of the train stations as they whiz by continues. One day, I may publish a guide for when the best times of day are. :)

Shades

Ever notice how some couples end up in subtle ways? Photographers do.

Round the Bend

I walked a little closer to the tenderloin this Saturday, and I got a couple of shots there I liked. With the overcast and the stark setting, a black & white conversion suggested itself.

If Looks Could Kill

The last shot I posted was driven by the looks of the people in it, and I think this one is too. There's a range of emotions upon disembarking from Caltrain, most of which are not pleasant. ;) Irritatingly, this is best viewed in a browser other than Chrome, which seems hell-bent on tinting it just a little orange.

Observers

Despite my doom cold, drug my self up to the city yesterday so the weekend wouldn't feel like a total waste. Caught this moment when there was some really good partial directional light working in my favor.

Lookin' for a Ride?

Caught this one on the way back from the city on Saturday -- as usual, fascinated by what's going on with the people at varying Caltrain stations. If the train is empty enough, I actually have a pattern of which side I should sit on for which station. ;) Trend towards more color in photos continues -- not sure why it was, but I was seeing a lot more of it this weekend.

Overshadowed

Shot this on O'Farrell -- was up there last week, and thought I would come back and check out some of the afternoon light there. Lots of building reflections, and just a bit of drama. :)

Fans

Caught this moment on Powell Street yesterday -- had gone up to the city to catch a few hours of afternoon light near Union Square and to wander around some streets I don't normally spend a lot of time on. Powell is an old favorite though, and it didn't disappoint.

The Boy in Green

There's a bridge between the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace in Vegas. Every year I go there, and every year I think it's one of my favorite places to photograph people. Caught this one in a rare, partly cloudy moment -- the color and the expressions really caught my eye.

The Man in Red

Just spent a week in Vegas, and came back with photos. :) This one is with the x100, which still managed to turn out something interesting in really low light and a subject all in red (where camera sensors traditionally go to die). Love this guy's expression, and the odd cut of the frame works here for me.
